Meet Patricia Jones
Hi! I’m Patricia a freelance personal fashion stylist/content creator. After working as a commercial model, I studied at London College of Fashion over 15 years ago.
I have always had a love for fashion & I love putting looks together. Clothes really are an extension of our personalities and what we wear really does have an impact on our mood.
I have had the pleasure of styling well-known celebrities and working on fantastic campaigns, including MegsMenopause, Wimbledon Tennis & Gala Bingo. I also volunteer as a dresser at Smartworks Charity, where I style women to get back into the workplace.
Russell & Bromley Top Picks
The new collection is so timeless, I love all the raffia, but it was the tote bag that really stole my heart. It is a 3 in 1 bag. The tote bag is perfect to travel with and then doubles up as a beach bag. Inside the bag is a black leather mini bag with 2 straps that work as a crossbody or a shorter strap for the evening… What’s not to love about it???
I love slingback, so both the raffia shoes had my name written all over them, and I love how they could all be styled dressed up or down.
The black block heel sandals are so comfortable and you will definitely be wearing them year after year.
Ted Baker Top Picks
Ted Baker does work wear so well, it’s always so elegant & will take you from a day at the office to an evening out.
I particularly fell in love with the red statement dress with the gorgeous puff sleeves, I added some accessories from Russell and Bromley to finish off the look.
Love that the dress has pockets too, definitely a thumbs up for us ladies. The dress really does have the wow factor and didn’t need to be over accessorised.
Hobbs Top Picks
Hobbs has all the classic timeless pieces that will never date, If you’re going on a city break then these pieces work together so well.
The trench is the perfect piece for the Spring season, and the metal top fastening & the check lining give it a really luxe vibe.
Added some wardrobe staples with the jeans and white tee & a striped sweater over the top to finish the look, but it can also be worn in the evening if it gets chilly.
Phase Eight Top Picks
Phase Eight is the queen of Occasion wear. In my opinion, they do it so well; I also love that it comes in petites, so if, like me, you’re 5ft 3ins or under, then they have you covered.
This floral pleated dress was getting lots of attention when I was trying it on as it’s such a showstopping print.
Finished with the look with a beautiful fascinator and pink suede clutch bag, it really does give off wedding guest vibes. The dress could equally be worn for a day at the races or any dressy occasion.
